Description
The Pocket Towel 2022 is a travel towel made from recycled DRY+ polyester, the flagship of Sea To Summit's towel range and aimed more at travel and everyday hygiene on the road than pure ultralight backpacking. The fabric absorbs three times its own weight in water and falls into the faster-drying category (30–60 minutes) — a touch slower than the Airlite microfibre line, reflecting a different fabric structure.
Unlike the roll-up Airlite towels, the Pocket Towel comes in a hard EVA case with a snap-loop, which protects the towel from damage inside a pack and doubles as a way to hang it up to dry. The range spans five sizes from S (50 g, 40 × 80 cm) to XL (175 g, 75 × 150 cm), so you can match area to weight for the trip at hand.
A good fit for travellers and hikers who value the tougher case and wider size range over a purely minimal option.
